2. Give to sbdr.org

Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, and affiliate teams from Alabama, are on the ground in Texas providing relief. Giving monetary donations to sbrd.org/texas helps to ensure that volunteers have the tools they need at the time they need it. It provides for not only relief services but also chaplaincy and other needs to those suffering from storm damage.

3. Go with Etowah Baptist SBDR

The Etowah Baptist Disaster Relief team has been activated. SBDR has relieved some of the qualifications for those who serve, although emergency training is still recommended.
